Darrell,
Thanks for monitoring the thrust of this thread! I will keep in touch with
everyone on the list who has responded and has some expertise in all of the
areas we are talking about. I just thought it was something that needed to
be brought up, not because of my own frustrations, but, rather, because I am
sure that there must be others who aren't always bold enough to voice their
frustrations, on these blind lists. Part of my 12 Step training, I'm
afraid!
Thank You for responding,
-Mac-

Hi Mac,
What we may really need is a tutorial for blind beginners to podcast
listening. Unfortunately, as an accessibility evangelist, I just don't
personally have enough time and resources to do this, but there are a number
of others, Jonathan Mosen?, who might be able to help? I really do wish I
could do more, but it is absolutely critical that someone make all this
stuff accessible!
